Subject: [Announce] Tix version 4.1a3 is available

</pre>

   I am pleased to announce the availability of Tix version 4.1a3, the
   third alpha release. This version of Tix supports the Unix and
   Microsoft Windows platforms. <p>

   Tix 4.1 is the commercial version of Tix 4.0. It contains more
   widgets and works under MS Windows. Please read the file
   license.terms first inside the distribution tar file or from the
   WWW at <a href="http://www.xpi.com/tix/license.terms.41a3.txt">
